Do Nathalie Pechalat’s daughters practice sports at a high level?
In an exclusive interview with Gala.fr last March, Nathalie Pechalat talked about how motherhood had changed her life: “It’s a lot of organization, a lot of happiness, and sometimes worry, of course. It’s not a sports or professional project, it’s a life project, it’s the most important. But not at the expense of everything else. So for me, it’s a plus, a big bonus.”
Despite her personal history, the former champion revealed that she doesn’t want her daughters to follow the same path as her. “They have their sports and artistic activities, not in an ultra-intense way, but like most children. They have their passions, activities, and universe, and that’s perfectly fine with me,” said the mother, who clearly wants Jeanne and Alice to thrive at their own pace, without pressure.
